Chapter 620 Gas Ship Leakage
The group is of course in the inkblot.

If you want to rescue eight natural gas ships, you have to use Da Mao's most advanced Arctic-class nuclear-powered icebreaker. Hiring such a ship will cost a lot of money!

Mr. Li didn't want to worry about this matter at first, after all, he still has more things to consider, but if he wants to obtain this fund, he has to agree to the condition proposed by Qin Tao: Mortgage the shares of Chongming Island Shipyard to Ming State group!
Mr. Li is very conflicted. He thought about using the group's funds, but considering the possible situation that may arise next, Mr. Li still did not dare to make this decision. Now, the premise of everything lies in whether there will be other problems with the batch of ships. .If there is no problem with the ship, as long as the transportation is completed, a large amount of freight can be obtained, and the money can be repaid. If there are other problems, if the money cannot be returned to Mingzhou Group, doesn’t it mean that the state group wants to return the money? Take away all the shares in Chongming Island Shipyard?

It's not a trivial matter, and they're still thinking about it.

"President Qin, the president of the Sanxing Group is really a hesitant guy, and he has always been unwilling to make up his mind." Xu Zhengyang urged Qin Tao: "Now, shall we continue to act according to the original plan?"

"Wait another day, if they still haven't made up their minds, then let's urge them."

"What if the Sanxing Group pays the money?" Xu Zhengyang began to get up again.

"If they pay the money, then their three-line group will be in danger." Qin Tao said: "If we can defeat the entire three-line group, then the southern kimchi country will never rise again. I'd rather they make the wrong choice."

Xu Zhengyang nodded.

The next day, there was a group of people outside the Sanxing Group headquarters.

However, no one responded!

When the news reached Sanxing Group, everyone was shocked.

better than dead?

Those who witnessed this situation were no longer calm.

"This is an icebreaker with a displacement of 21 tons." Cui Wenji bragged to his subordinates: "This kind of ship uses two nuclear reactors as power, and its maximum speed is 18 knots. Opening a 2.8-meter-thick ice layer, sailing on the ice is the same as sailing in ordinary sea water!"

Mr. Li is not calm anymore: "What did you say?"

At this time, Zheng Zhenze was still full of confidence. When he was standing on the Arctic nuclear-powered icebreaker, he was even more moved by this big guy.

Wisps of white smoke emerged from the liquid cargo enclosure system and curled up into the sky.

"It's about the liquefied gas ship. You told me that if there is a major change, you will be notified as soon as possible."

What now?These people are wearing thick down jackets, are they planning to go out?

What are your men doing?
Cui Wenji looked over annoyed, and found that his subordinates were all wearing clothes!

Those crew members are definitely not cold numbers. They have families. They are the mother's son, the wife's husband, and the child's father. They must not be forgotten like this!

"Now, immediately contact the Arctic icebreaker!"

"I beg Sanxing Group, please save my son!" A woman cried: "He has just reached his full age! He followed the fleet to the Arctic Circle and has not returned until now!"

"Our ship's bow is also equipped with a special ram. We have tried it. In the most extreme situation, we can break through the ice layer with a thickness of five meters." Andre continued.

"Don't worry, everyone. The group has hired the Arctic nuclear-powered icebreaker to pick us up." Captain Cui Wenji came in with a telegram and said to his subordinates, "Have you heard of this kind of icebreaker?"

Everyone is a wage earner, and it is a last resort to be trapped here. Now, if they are killed by the leaking natural gas again, it would be too wronged. They fell at the darkest time before dawn!Seeing that the light is coming, but can't see it anymore.

The crew members who got dressed first had already started to pack their backpacks, dumping all the food in the canteen.

Zheng Zhenze didn't believe what he heard at all, this is absolutely impossible!Although their natural gas ship was trapped, it has always been in good condition. How could there be an accident at such a time?
"Yes, we will rush to the scene as soon as possible for rescue!"

This relies on the powerful power of the hull, the strong structure of the bow, and the jet system on both sides!
That's right, this special icebreaker also has special equipment: there is a special jet device around the waterline of the hull, which can jet 24 cubic meters of gas per second. With the push, all the ice floes on both sides of the hull were blown away!

After a moment of hesitation, Cui Wenji realized what was happening, with panic on his face: "Quickly, go and see our liquid cargo fence system!"

"The crew is down? Are they running? What are they going to do?" Park Renjun also became nervous.

run, run!
The natural gas ship is loaded with so much natural gas, once it explodes, it will be as powerful as a nuclear bomb!They must run quickly, the farther the better!

"what?"

When someone said the word, everyone else was stunned.

Western submarines have always followed the single-hulled route, so that there is enough internal space to accommodate everything, but Lao Maozi has always been working on double-hulled ones. One of the important reasons is that their submarines will operate in the Arctic.

This is definitely the most serious incident!

"How could this be?"

"Please Sanxing Group, save my husband! My child is only three months old, he cannot live without a father!" A young woman held a child in her arms, tears streaming down the child's face On the night, the child was stimulated by tears and began to cry.

"What happened?"

However, he insisted on staying. Others didn’t have this awareness. Even if the explosion would cause the ice to melt, they were unwilling to stay and wait to die. They had to run, and the farther they ran, the better. Will the explosion cause a chain reaction, causing one gas ship after another to explode?

"Well, according to its current speed, probably tomorrow, it will come and lead us to open up a route. We will be able to leave this ghost place soon!"

what is that?
Leaking Gas!

"Do you want to be fired?" Cui Wenji continued to shout.

When needed, they would float up from under the ice layer, smash the ice layer abruptly, reveal their huge bodies, and launch deadly ballistic missiles!
If it is a single shell, it is easy to sink yourself by playing like this, but there is no such concern with the double shell.

At this moment, his feet suddenly shook. At this moment, he was a little surprised.

After all, the temperature attitude of LNG, no matter what kind of insulation method is used, this system will have natural gas vaporized, if it is not released, it will make the system explode, and it is too wasteful to discharge it directly. After careful research, Mingzhou Group, This method was invented, which greatly reduces operating costs.

Public opinion spread like this, and the image of the woman with tears all over her face entered everyone's heart.Under the attack of this kind of public opinion propaganda, Sanxing Group has no other choice.

The crew members of the other ships put on their winter clothes one after another, and then ran outside together. At this time, they couldn't care about anything.

When the fleet was advancing, they lined up in a long snake, so now they can only see the smoke coming out of the front, but they don't know why the smoke is coming out of the front.

Unfortunately, how can we not bring kimchi?

When he heard this, Cui Wenji realized: danger is coming!
Their natural gas ship is equipped with a large amount of natural gas. Once a leak occurs, the natural gas will soon cover the surroundings of the ship. If they don't run out quickly to a safe area, they will be cremated with just one spark!
Just now he actually had to use the radio to contact the ships behind, this is simply too stupid, the radio can also cause sparks!
With the leakage of natural gas, the temperature of the ship's hull will also drop rapidly. Now it is only 100 to [-] degrees below zero. The natural gas in the natural gas ship is more than [-] degrees below zero!If you stay on the boat, you will definitely freeze to death!
Originally, he still fulfilled his duty, but now, he doesn't care about so much. In the face of duty and life, does it matter what to choose?
Cui Wenji also quickly ran back to his cabin, quickly put on his clothes, and then went out!
The crew of the ships behind also noticed something strange about the ships ahead.

The subordinates shook their heads, they really didn't know what kind of icebreaker this kind of existence existed.

Five meters thick, what an existence against the sky!Zheng Zhenze was completely relieved.

A ship of 10,000+ cubic meters of natural gas is equivalent to 30 million tons of strong TNT explosives. If it explodes...

That's right, the icebreaker is now on a rampage, forcibly crossing the ice layer more than one meter thick!

Gas leak!what does that mean?
"The crew of the DAON has come down, and they are running on the ice!"

Get out of this damn place!This is what everyone is looking forward to!
"I miss the kimchi made by my mother very much. If I didn't go on the wrong route, I should be eating kimchi at home by now." A crew member said while holding freshly baked bread in his hand. .

Their set of devices is already very mature, and the leaked natural gas will be collected and then enter the engine for combustion, so that fuel can be saved.

what happened?How many days have passed, and the Sanxing Group has not acted yet?Let those crew members fend for themselves?

Make similar mistakes?You still have to have this chance!Qin Tao thought secretly in his heart.

At this time, the eight natural gas ships trapped on the ice were completely relieved.

Cui Wenji quickly ran to the nearest window of the cafeteria. The position here is relatively low, but the device outside can still be seen. When he saw it for the first time, Cui Wenji's face turned into a blank sheet of paper.

Although the ship stopped, the engine was still running, and the power supply on the ship was still normal. Therefore, the interior of the living area was very warm, and they only needed to wear autumn clothes.

Soon, her pitiful appearance appeared in front of audiences across the country, and many people were angry.

It didn't need to back up and then slam into it, it drove up directly, the speed didn't decrease at all, and it was almost continuously smashing through the ice at a speed of 10 knots!

"My son! There is nothing wrong with you. If something happens to you, how will I live!" At this moment, the woman burst into tears.

"What about thicker ice?"

"Immediately set up a special accident investigation committee and actively cooperate with Da Mao. We must handle this incident properly!" Mr. Li said, his brows furrowed: "Our Sanxing Group has experienced many crises since its establishment. Now, We will surely get through this crisis safely!"

"Really? That's great. We wish this rescue will go well." Qin Tao said.

DAON number, cafeteria.

In the afternoon of that day, Zheng Zhenze officially held a media conference. At the meeting, he vowed to tell reporters that the Sanxing Group will never abandon these crew members. Sanxing Heavy Industry is actively coordinating and will hire Da Mao soon. Arctic-class nuclear-powered icebreaker, go to the destination and help the fleet get out of trouble!

The large hull, especially the bow, where the mottled paint falls off, will show glistening colors. That is because the bow is made of stainless steel, and the light is reflected by the stainless steel!

"The DAON at the front of the entire fleet suffered a serious gas leak."

If it is not handled well, the whole group may be buried with them!

"Yeah, what's the matter? Are they lighting fires on the ice?"

Their hearts were filled with fear.

"What? Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

"Oh my God, look, the white smoke has already wrapped the DAON!"

"Yes, we think so too." Captain Andre said proudly: "Our ship has reached the North Pole many times, and no ice layer can block our way! Now, even if we break the ice and advance, We can also maintain a high enough speed."

"Damn it, what are you doing? Didn't you hear my order?" Cui Wenji was angry.

Park Renjun is still awake, and he also knows his mission, and there must be no mistakes. If the fleet is really lost in his hands, he has no other choice but to commit suicide up.

The crew members who had just been out for activities returned to the warm canteen, took off their thick clothes, put them aside, and sat down on their seats.

Even if you leave the ship there, you can bring the crew back!
How can they be so cold-blooded?

In contrast, it is safer to leave!

See the picture, now, the map is unfolding little by little, and the dagger will appear soon.

This is a 159-ton large icebreaker with a length of 30 meters and a width of [-] meters. The superstructure is the same as that of a super cruise ship. It can carry hundreds of crew members, and it is also the best for sightseeing.

"Mr. President, there is an emergency." The secretary interrupted his meeting with an exception, hurried in and reported to him.

"Double hull? Just like your submarine!" Zheng Zhenze sighed.

In order to pursue economy, ordinary cargo ships only have a speed of more than a dozen knots. What about this nuclear-powered icebreaker?It is amazing to be able to sail continuously on the ice at a speed of more than ten knots!

Gas ship leaking?

"We can't wait to die!"

At first there was a crowd of onlookers, and after a few minutes, reporters and media arrived.

"Then of course we have to rely on our hull to crush the damned ice." Andre continued to introduce: "Our icebreaker has a double-layer hull, and the outer hull is welded with 48 mm thick high-strength steel plates. Yes, no fear of any ice at all, and when we get bigger ice, we adjust the ballast tanks, put the bow up, drive out onto the ice, and crush it."

They couldn't see the ship, but when the crew ran down, they could.

"Yes, Mr. Zheng will go there in person, and he will rescue those poor sailors himself," the representative said.

Still no one listened to him, everyone was busy getting dressed.

This is also a stunt that only professional icebreakers have.

Therefore, their natural gas ships will not see the release of natural gas. If it happens, there is only one possibility: the liquid cargo fencing system containing natural gas leaks!
How to do?
"Quick, report to the MIR immediately, there is a leak in our liquid cargo fence system!" Cui Wenji shouted loudly.

What's going on, could it be that I got seasick?How can sailors who have been drifting at sea all year round get seasick?Now that their ship is trapped on the ice, it is impossible to make themselves seasick!
The moment Cui Wenji hesitated, a special voice came from his ears.

"Those damned international speculators will not stop. They have already swept the wealth of many countries in Southeast Asia. They have accumulated a lot of funds in their hands, and it is likely to impact our country. Now, we have to prepare Such ample cash flow, ready to deal with the possible economic crisis..."

"Captain, do you mean that this ship will come to rescue us soon?"

"Hey!"

"The specific situation is not clear. We have lost contact with the fleet and can only be determined based on a satellite image taken by the United States. The matter is serious."

At the headquarters of the Mingzhou Group, Qin Tao signed his name on the equity mortgage agreement with a smile, and looked at the representative of the South Kimchi Country who came: "Please rest assured, we will send the money to the Lucia Nuclear Power Administration now, Let them send nuclear icebreakers now, have your representatives passed by?"

"Dear audience, I am currently at the headquarters of the Sanxing Group. This time, the fleet of the Sanxing Heavy Industry entered the hinterland of the Arctic by mistake due to a navigation error on the way home, and all of them were trapped there. Now, the families of the crew members are very upset Stable!" A reporter held a microphone and said quickly and fluently to the camera: "Now, let's interview the family members of the crew members at the scene."

"Don't worry, you will be able to eat kimchi soon. When we go out, under the leadership of the nuclear-powered icebreaker, we will be able to drive to the Bering Strait in ten days." Cui Wenji said.

"What if we encounter a solid layer of ice?" Zheng Zhenze continued to ask.

At this time, Zheng Zhenze didn't know what had happened. He was on the Arctic icebreaker, looking forward to reaching his destination as soon as possible. When the maritime satellite phone rang, he took it calmly.

If it explodes, the consequences will be disastrous!

"Yes, we also hope that everything will go well." The representative said: "We will also summarize the experience of the first time, and we will never make similar mistakes in the future."

Everyone is excited.

Mr. Li nodded, he said so, and the secretary knew the seriousness, since he interrupted his meeting to report to him, it must be a very important emergency.

When he received this news, Mr. Li was holding a meeting with the leaders of the entire group to discuss the response to the possible economic crisis that may occur next.

"Damn it, don't run, don't run, what's the use of you running out?" Park Renjun shouted loudly: "If it really explodes, the ice here will melt, and you will all fall and drown! It's better On board, once the ice melts, we'll be out!"

Even though he said that, he felt a little apprehensive, because this crisis was the worst he had ever seen.

He couldn't believe that once this kind of natural gas ship leaked, what terrible consequences would happen!

Sailing on the sea is very boring. The cold storage on the ship has stored fresh vegetables for a month, but it is inconvenient to resupply after the vegetables are exhausted. They have to save food.

"Could it be a gas leak and they have to evacuate as soon as possible?"

Squeak, squeak... The sound was like metal scraping, or like some device was shivering in the cold.

Standing on the bridge, watching the huge hull advance, Zheng Zhenze was very emotional: "This professional icebreaker is too powerful!"

"No, it's not like starting a fire, it's more like... a natural gas leak!"

"What's the matter, is it more important than my current meeting?"

This matter has been made a big deal by public opinion. The Sanxing Group has already developed a mature response plan in the face of this kind of public opinion. Zheng Zhenze went there in person, which can also show that Sanxing Heavy Industry attaches great importance to it. They just got rid of it time and time again. crisis of public opinion.

"There seems to be white gas in front?"

If in the past era, the captain had a gun in his hand, he must be firing a gun to show his authority now.But now, Cui Wenji can only threaten to fire his men.

"It's better to be fired than to die." A crew member muttered, and then ran out swiftly.

what happened?

"If that ship explodes, we'll be affected too!"

The icebreaker moved forward and opened the channel all the way. Even if the ice layer behind it was to freeze, it would take more than half an hour. When it came back, it could take eight natural gas ships out of trouble!

The entire fleet panicked because of the gas ship's leak, and, in order to prevent the radio from detonating the gas, they did not dare to send a message to the outside world. Fortunately, a reconnaissance satellite that passed by here took pictures, which helped them send out a distress signal .

After putting down the phone, he said to Andre: "Captain Andre, something happened, we need to rush to the scene as soon as possible."

"What happened?"

"Somehow, one of the gas ships leaked."

"What? Leaked? No, we must not risk our lives, we refuse to move on!" Captain Andre shouted: "Stop now!"
